Ryanair customers couldn't believe it when they found their plane seats smothered in dried-up vomit from a previous passenger.

Horrified Fred McInerney, 65, and Sheila McInerney, 62, were boarding their flight from Alicante, Spain to Bristol, UK on 28 September when they spotted the foul mess.

The couple - who were flying back to visit their son and watch an Aston Villa match - said when they boarded the Ryanair aircraft they saw their allocated seats and seatbelts were covered in "dry vomit."

They claim when they told cabin crew about the grim sight, their response was that calling cleaners back onto the plane would delay the flight.
